Very nice, man that brings back some memories. All the shows back then taught a moral, somewhere hollyweird seems to have forgot that

I don't have your temps, but to me the 40's is cold enough for a heater. I picked up a propane construction site heater from HD, 60K btu ($99 and I get a military discount too). With the garage door cracked open some, I open a window, you should have plenty of fresh air for the heater. It heats my shop quick. Food for thought. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dyna-Glo-Pro-30K-60K-BTU-Propane-Forced-Air-Heater-RMC-FA60DGP/202223041

Beautiful work Denny

neat, more importantly, wow what a shop!

Great cutting, I may borrow that idea for a friend of mine in Memphis, need to find a way to say roll tide on it too, he is an AL alumnus Comment - I think I would have trimmed the back piece to match the really nice curve of the sign

Very nice example of controlled cutting, kudo's

Does the speed of the blade influence you on how fast you cut? I run the saw at slightly more then 3/4 speed, but how fast I cut is the rate that I feed the piece into the blade. I found that the higher the blade speed the fewer fuzzies I have to deal with when I am done. I feel that is because the blade is stroking the same spot in the cut more than at a lower speed.

here ya go Ray, wrap your head around this one What is the equation for an ellipse? Use the standard form (x−h)2a2+(y−k)2b2=1 ( x − h ) 2 a 2 + ( y − k ) 2 b 2 = 1 . If the x-coordinates of the given vertices and foci are the same, then the major axis is parallel to the y-axis. Use the standard form (x−h)2b2+(y−k)2a2=1 ( x − h ) 2 b 2 + ( y − k ) 2 a 2 = 1 . ROFLMAO Seems easier to me to use the circle widget in inkscape, draw out an ellipse (default drawing) and on the tool bar set the width and height

Glad to help, I am sure the parents will love it, as will she later on in life

Yep I agree with that

very very nice

I do have a beard, and often being retired forget to shave around it, yes it works with a beard

From my perspective I agree. FD and Pegas seem to be what the majority uses I started and tried all kinds of brands, then someone here mentioned FDUR, I tired them and that became my goto blade, then I tried the modified geometry, again someone here talked it up - 90% improvement for me. But I do get curious when I see a new brand (well new to me) especially since they are so much cheaper - I can be a skinflint at times

Very nice, make me jealous that I don't have the room to build something

I use the P100 too and I agree it is lightweight and comfortable and also allows me to wear my readers, but forget I am wearing it? LOL

Very timely post, I was just getting ready to order, so I went with QT, I had the same problem with the order form I also asked them to skip a line or put a divider or something between the listing. I can't believe they are not using options for the item where you select the package size and qty. D&D is this same very basic ordering page too.

I like that very nice cutting , I think I would do a collage of the pics in the center of the heart

Kevin, her blades cut straight just like the PMG do, that was not my issue with them at all. I hate the fuzzies, and the JGR blades (in my limited test anyway) left more behind. And surprisingly, there were fuzzies on the top side of the cut too. Same machine, same speed. I have no idea if they will last as long in cutting before getting dull, but based on the teeth and the much smaller kerf between them I would think so.

That is a good point, not having tried intarsia yet could you explain the difference in cutting style with a blade?

Very very nice work, looks like it has a finish on it.

visit your profile there is a link for an album there

All great as usual, but I really like the cat

First let me apologize for the poor pics, I will administer 30 lashes with a wet noodle later. I'm close to needing to order, my goto blade is the Pegas Modified Geometry #3 (PMG #3), in another thread some time ago someone mentioned the blades that Judy Gale Roberts (of intarsia fame) sells. And sells much cheaper than the PMG variety. So I ordered a dozen of the Gold. She does sell Platinum too, higher price naturally. not that it matters much to most of you, but the plastic zip lock package is thinner, not as sturdy IMO, as the package the PMG and FD blades come in. Initially I thought I received a manufactures defect, it looked like there were no teeth! But sure enough, sliding my thumb up and down found them. I was surprised since with readers I have no problem seeing the teeth on a PMG blade, (oer the FDUR either). see the pic So I got some scrap pieces and went to freehanding some cuts. Basswood because it is notorious for the fuzzies, and a scrap of walnut. I'll be staying with the PMG #3, but as they say, YMMV The JGR blades do cut straight just like the PMG blades do food for thought anyway

Nice display. I got rid of my blades that I will never use. Like you I had so many from trying to find that elusive goto blade.

What a great idea and well done too
